Arstechnica: Disney makes a bigger ask of theaters than ever before with The Last Jedi

[ElBoxy]

Hope it results in theatres putting their ticket prices absurdly high just for Star Wars to the point that nobody bothers to rewatch due to the stupid Disney tax and it ends up hurting their box office.

LOL

Families will drive through a snow storm just to see Star Wars. The theaters are gonna comply with Disney.

What happened to being able to like posts? Did they disable that for now? I wanna like this post so hard. It made giggle.

Didn't notice that they (resetera) ever had likes enabled. I know they could add likes, it's a common thing for Xenforo software, but never saw this particular site have it.

But either way thanks for liking, but not liking, my comment.

It sucks, but they have the power. Plus (especially larger) theaters will make it up on the higher concessions sales.



Same, this happens to me on safari and my iPhone as well :/

Well, I guess it's good to know it's not just me. But it's a really annoying problem. Wish we could solve it.

With movie pass, theaters losing money, Studios wanting bigger cuts I hope that theaters go away soon. Can't wait for day to date digital releases where I can watch Last Jedi in my home within the first few weeks. F theaters they suck. Would rather enjoy a movie in the comfort of my own home and I don't even have a crazy TV or sound system.

Man I hope your wish never comes true.
Though I fear acts like this might allow it to

Who would have thought having the most power in an industry would make a profit-driven company act like assholes?

 

[Masquerade Overture]

So...$30 for an IMAX ticket?

Imagine they make it so even regular showings of this won't work on MoviePass.

Imagine if all the theaters banded together to not show the new Star Wars.

Shit would be hilarious.
